That TREAD Act label's 1,561 lb max cargo/payload is misleading, as it is based

cargo/payload does NOT apply to you.
Why recommend going out and actually weighing your rig ready to go camping (fully

Also, decide if you believe in the ratings system or not
If not, then do whatever
If yes, then learn how that system works and gather the proper information
Good luck!
Maybe I have misunderstood the "Tire & Loading Info" sticker, but I thought the listed max cargo weight on each sticker was for "that specific vehicle"? Including an empty gas tank, which is something else that needs to be included towards max cargo weight.
